Clinic na gCapall

Clinic na gCapall is an equine-only veterinary clinic focused on “precise diagnosis and targeted treatment,” backed by on-site facilities such as an in-house lab plus digital radiography and mobile digital ultrasound. The clinic advertises specific sports/orthopaedic-style diagnostics and therapies (for example lameness exams, ultrasound-guided joint injections, PRP and shockwave therapy), and notes that emergency cover is available to registered clients only. In reviews, owners repeatedly describe thorough investigations (“leaves no stone unturned”), clear/“honest communication” during a multi-stage pre-purchase vetting, and practical help in urgent situations (including getting to cases quickly and even changing a tyre on a horsebox).
